Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what guidance he has issued to vendors accepting digital currencies as payment for goods and services.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has not issued guidance to vendors accepting digital currencies as payment for goods and services.

In August 2014 the Chancellor announced the Government would undertake a major programme of work looking at the benefits and risks of digital currencies, and look into whether they could or should be regulated.
